Marinade and Meat

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Ribs

    Add the short ribs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the ribs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are nicely charred and cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot.
